Fun, Advocacy and Brainpower

Group of self-advocates

The DDS Self Advocate Coordinators (SACs) are available to support all Self Advocacy (SA) groups around the state of Connecticut by providing monthly resources for a fun and informative SA meeting. Every fiscal year, the SACs select monthly topics for July through June that interest advocates.

This site will assist any SA group looking for ideas to support their meeting, making it a time to have Fun and make friends, become a great Advocate by becoming empowered, and learn information to increase knowledge and Brainpower to assist in understanding various topics and making their life happen!
